Watch Grassroots Movie Online No Survey A short-tempered, unemployed music critic who likes to dress as a polar bear thinks he can harness the power of the people to ride the monorail to political victory in Seattle. And he's right. Almost. It's before Twitter, before the flash mob, before Obama. It's 2001, and political unknown Grant Cogswell decides he must take down Seattle City Councilman Richard McIver. Grant has only one dream, but it's a big one: an elegant monorail gliding silently above the city's wet streets. Grassroots is a character-driven comedy about the power of the people and the virtues of standing up for what you believe in. Against all odds. -- (C) Samuel Goldwyn Release Date Grassroots Jun 22, 2012 Limited

Review For Grassroots
Grassroots is a movie where bad ideas, because they're the ones championed by the "correct" side, are king. It never acknowledges that sometimes idealism is just another kind of manipulation. Stephanie Zacharek-NPR At first glance, "Grassroots" doesn't seem like much of an idea for a movie. Nor at second, third or fourth glance. Kyle Smith-New York Post Although it only glosses the mechanics of local politics, it exudes an endearingly scruffy charm. Stephen Holden-New York Times Grassroots disingenuously has it both ways, reducing politics first to a David-versus-Goliath adventure, and then to an everyone-is-cool bowl of mush. Nick Schager-Village Voice Poli-sci students may roll their eyes at true story of an upstart campaign for Seattle City Council. John DeFore-Hollywood Reporter A witty, well-cast, sometimes ingeniously paced political comedy. John Hartl-Seattle Times A movie populated by dislikeable characters and written/directed with no aplomb whatsoever ... Niki Boyle-The List [A] refreshing real-life political story ... Philip French-Observer [UK] There's a terrific sense of righteous anger in this scruffy comedy about disenfranchised people shaking American politics to its core. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com Proves very likable, if a little Sorkin-lite. Mike McCahill-Guardian [UK] You'll root for the giant all the way. Robbie Collin-Daily Telegraph Engaging, enjoyable and extremely well timed political comedy/drama with a strong script and a pair of terrific performances from Jason Biggs and Joel David Moore. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon An enjoyable, fitfully engaging but ever-so-slightly forgettable minor-key political comedy. Tom Huddleston-Time Out With Avatar's Moore on inspiring form, and Biggs the best he's been since early Pie, this is still worth your vote. James Mottram-Total Film Grassroots is so in love with its titular spirit that an underlying note of cynicism is never fully embraced... With results at the ballot so close to the line, though, one might reasonably expect a bit of a mixed message to emerge. Anton Bitel-Eye for Film For what it's worth, Grassroots features Cedric the Entertainer's best performance to date. Shaun Munro-What Culture You don't have to look too far these days to notice films abounding with jobless and financially struggling characters, in stark contrast to the recession-proof movies they inhabit. Top that off with emerging election year movies, and enter Grassroots. Prairie Miller-Long Island Press A smarter movie than you expect...It's probably naïve, but it's also enjoyable and even a little thought-provoking. Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine A call to citizen participation [through a] portrait of shoe leather political organizing pre-social media is lively, but seems more enjoyably quaint than inspiring. Nora Lee Mandel-Film-Forward.com Tale of a Seattle race for city council is strident and ultimately tiresome. David Noh-Film Journal International
